Bypassed alignment graph for learning coordination in Japanese sentences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Past work on English coordination has focused on coordination scope disambiguation. In Japanese, detecting whether coordination exists in a sentence is also a problem, and the state-of-the-art alignmentbased method specialized for scope disambiguation does not perform well on Japanese sentences. To take the detection of coordination into account, this paper introduces a ‘bypass’ to the alignment graph used by this method, so as to explicitly represent the non-existence of coordinate structures in a sentence. We also present an effective feature decomposition scheme based on the distance between words in conjuncts.

Bypassed Alignment Graph for Learning Coordination in Japanese Sentences: Supplementary Material
We presented an improved coordination analysis method for Japanese in our ACL-IJCNLP 2009 short paper entitled Bypassed alignment graph for learning coordination in Japanese sentences. This method can determine (i) whether coordination exists in a sentence, in addition to (ii) disambiguating its scope if coordination exists. Ability to cope with these two tasks simultaneously is essential for J...
متن کاملReliable Measures for Aligning Japanese-English News Articles and Sentences
We have aligned Japanese and English news articles and sentences to make a large parallel corpus. We first used a method based on cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) to align the Japanese and English articles and then used a method based on dynamic programming (DP) matching to align the Japanese and English sentences in these articles. However, the results included many incorrect alignm...

This paper investigates the recognition process of Japanese kanii and sentences fbr Chinese bilinguals and Native Japanese speakers <NJS), by analyzing the event-related potential (ERP) differences between the two groups while they visually recognized Japanese kanji and sentences. The results showed that no significant differences were found between the two groups while they recognized Japanese...
متن کاملFast BTG-Forest-Based Hierarchical Sub-sentential Alignment
In this paper, we propose a novel BTGforest-based alignment method. Based on a fast unsupervised initialization of parameters using variational IBM models, we synchronously parse parallel sentences top-down and align hierarchically under the constraint of BTG. Our twostep method can achieve the same run-time and comparable translation performance as fast align while it yields smaller phrase tab...
متن کاملSimplification of Example Sentences for Learners of Japanese Functional Expressions
Learning functional expressions is one of the difficulties for language learners, since functional expressions tend to have multiple meanings and complicated usages in various situations. In this paper, we report an experiment of simplifying example sentences of Japanese functional expressions especially for Chinese-speaking learners. For this purpose, we developed “Japanese Functional Expressi...
